Authority, Royal Horticultural Society, England, such 
as Grammatocymbidium, Phalaerianda, Phragmipa- 
phium, Recchara, Zygorhyncha and Zygostylis, while 
to others, the rule of priority has yet to be applied. For 
example, in 1948, the hybrid generic name Lyonara was 
published with the parentage, 7J'richoglottis * Vanda. 
Since this constituted only a bigeneric hybrid, the use 
of the suffix -ara made the name illegitimate. Subse- 
quently, this was corrected to Trichovanda. In 1959, 
Lyonara was published again with a trigeneric paren- 
tage, Cattleya X Laelia X Schomburghia. This Lyonara 
is also illegitimate, since it represents a later homonym 
as well as a superfluous name. The correct name for this 
trigeneric hybrid 1s Schombolaeliocattleya, originally 
published by The Royal Horticultural Society in its 
Dictionary of Gardening, in 1951, thus antedating the 
later homonym. Nevertheless, we find that Lyonara of 
1959, rather than Schombolaeliocattleya of 1951, is 
maintained in the current listings. Other discrepancies: 
the acceptance of Rhynchovanda (1958) rather than 
Vandachostylis (1985), the acceptance of Brassophron- 
itis (1954) rather than Sophrovola (1895). The former 
hybrid name, involving Rhynchostyls and Vanda, is of 
special concern because Vandachostylis was fully de- 
scribed, illustrated in color, and also supplemented by 
anatomical descriptions and illustrations of the first hy- 
brid, V. Bernardu. At the end of this same treatise, 
another hybrid generic name involving Doritis and 
Phalaenopsis, was mentioned, namely Doritaenopsis, 
but without any description or grex epithet. Notwith- 
standing the lack of description and a legitimate grex 
epithet, Doritaenopsis was and still is accepted by the 
Registration Authority, while Vandachostylis was and 
still is rejected in favor of a later illegitimate name.
